Low Histamine Pan-Roasted Garlic Chicken Thighs and Asparagus
We love an easy Low Histamine chicken recipe perfect for weeknight cooking! Boneless and skinless chicken thighs are seared on both sides until they are nicely golden brown. The crispy thighs are then combined with slices of garlic and fresh thyme. Once the chicken is cooked, they are removed to a warmed plate. The same skillet is used for cooking the asparagus so that the vegetables can soak up any residual chicken fat and garlic flavor from the pan. This delicious recipe requires just one skillet and can feed up to four! This meal would be a great one for batch prepping or meal prepping. This also makes a great high-protein meal.
What is the best pan to use?
The best pan to use for this dish is an ovenproof pan that can work for the stovetop as well as in the oven. I love to use a blue steel pan or even a cast-iron skillet. You can place the skillet on the stove to sear the chicken thighs. The chicken thighs can go straight into the oven afterward. Once the chicken is cooked, the asparagus is roasted in the pan in the oven.
Do I have to roast the asparagus in the oven?
I like to roast the asparagus in the oven because the heating is even. If you prefer to, you can saute the asparagus in the skillet on the stovetop, but you will need to move the asparagus around often to ensure even cooking.**

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Season the chicken thighs on both sides with 1 teaspoon of salt. Preheat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Place the chicken thighs shiny side down.Step 2
Turn the heat down slightly to medium. Allow the chicken thighs to sear on the first side for several minutes until nicely browned, about 3-5 minutes. Then flip the chicken over to brown it on the other side. Add in garlic that has been sliced thinly and the thyme sprigs.Step 3
Place the chicken thighs into the oven for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 F (about 70 C).Step 4
Once the chicken is cooked, place on a warmed platter. Trim the ends off the asparagus and put it into the same skillet the chicken was cooked in. Toss the asparagus in the residual chicken fat, juices, and garlic slices. Roast the asparagus for 3-5 minutes at 400 F (200 C) or until the desired doneness is achieved. Serve the asparagus with the chicken immediately.
